GOLD in CALIFORNIA.
GENERAL SHERMAN ADDS A. CHAPTER
TO THE STORY OF IT'S DISCOVERY.


Washington, Dec. 16.-The Euen-
ing critic publishes tonight the am
inexed story told by General Sher-I
;man of the discovery of gold in Ca,
.lifornia: Captain Sutter brought
into General Mason's office several
small packages samples and spread
them out before us. The specimens
:present varied in size from fish
;scales and split peas up to the size
of beans. General Mason asked if
j knew how to test whether this
stuff was gold or not. l said, Ger
tainly,' and immediately tried my
teeth on Q lump and made an inden-
tation, which impressed me that it
was malleable. l then sent out for
q hammer and an AK, and pounded
several pieces out fiat. This was a
/ crude but practical test, but we
sthen applied acids, which verified
s;the fact that the samples were
4 genuine gold. l was at once sent
sup to the diggings and made a
/. thorough examination of the gold
discoveries which were rapidly being
found in new localities and in won
, derful amounts. / returned to Mon
terey with quantity of specimen
samples and drew up the official re-
!, port to the Government, which was
Signed by General Mason. This re-
iport, accompanied with a quantity
of samples of gold, was forwarded
by special bearer of dispatches,
s,who was no other than Henry d.
Cookies. He was sent off in small
( sailing vessel with instructions tc
s sintercept the British steamer on the
southern coast, and make rapiC
trsnsit to Washington, regardless o.
) expense. We had not been ther
sSadvised of ratification Of th,
], treaty with Mexico, ceding Califor
aSnia to the United States, and were
4 unnecessarily very anxious that th'
d Government should possess infor
ssmation of the discovery of gold a
\ the earliest moment"

THE SOCIAL ELEMENT.

Honolulu society is more brokens
up into orders, circles and nationals
tiles probably, than that Of any other
city of equal dimensions in any part
OF the world. Notwithstanding thes
petty sectionalism that often crops
out inevitably, from this circum-ll
stance, it is to be noted that therei
exists among the better class OF,
members of the community, a mark
ed interest in matters affecting the
welfare of others. Those favored
above their fellow citizens with edu-'
cation and culture devote large
portion of their time and means to
the improvement of the less favored.
The liberal responses, reported from
time to time, to calls of bcnevolence
and philanthropic enterprise, place
the Honolulu public in the front
ranks of enlightened llberality. Ii
may be that this creditable fact is
due to the proximity to everyone OF
those classes OF the population re-
quiring instruction andimprovement
so that sympathy is awakened and
takes practical form in works OF
active benevolence. The sketch OF
one of the institutions of Homo
lulu" given in these columns, few
days ago, is n signal instance of the
operation of this principle. Children
are taken out OF families whose cir
cumstances do not admit of the
youthful members being trained il
the way they should 60, and others
having no homes, are taken up ant
placed under careful training to Fl
them for the duties of life TO whicl
they may be called. Our city i
dotted over with blishments o
similar character, to an extent tina
eXcites the wonder and admiration
of visitors to these shores. Among
the best patrons Of such institutions
the royal lady, lying in state a
Iolani Palace, as these lines ar
being written, was one of the mos
active in their promotion and liberia
in their support.

THE TEMPERANCE CAMPAIGN
LAST EVENINGS MEETING.

q / 4 sa
Mr., Booth again met o crowded
audience last evening. His Honor,
Judge McCully presided, and
'broke the ice" for the lecturer inan
able resume of the history of the
different liquor and opium laws OF
this Kingdom. The choir, as on
former evenings, discoursed excel
lent music. "A solo, ''Come" was
sung by Mrs. Cruzan, with violin
accompaniment by Professor Yarnd-
lev. The lecturer proceeded to re-
fute, in bold array OF forcible ar
guments and illustrations the follow
ing popular objections to prohibi-
ton: eos
"a That 1t takes away men per-
sonal rights and liberties; (2) that
a man cannot be legislated into So
Der habits; (S) that the law would
be practically imperative; (4) that
public opinion wonld not stand by the
enforcement Of the law. Referring
to the two remedies proposed for
the effects of strong drink, one, TO
take the man away from the drink /,
the other, to take the drink away
from the man the lecturer observed
that the first had been tried by po-
lice and other legal machinery, but
had proved failure. He believed
in the plan OF taking the drink away
from fhe man. Moral suasiOn, he
considered of great value in the
community, but it was not sufficient
without being supplemented by le-
gal enactment Moral suasion,,
through the agency of individuals,
societies and churches, is doing
much to raise men up, but over
against their united forces stands
the saloon to pull men down, and he,

@public schools in France at the pre-
$ sent moment is 1928, an increase
sSSof 527 compared with last year, and

I, crease of 142. The number OF
"a scholars in the. public primary
ii schools is 4,5O3, $3.50, and private
n schools 1,077, 1857. In 1871 the
q number of persons in France unable

ii forty per cent. In 1885 the
u Xnumher of couples who were able t
rs sign their certificate of marriage was
n. 1856 percent for the men and 49,
Al for the women. The average mum

Legislative Correspondence.

In the appointment of the standing
committees in the Senate, the Sena
tor from the Ingham and Shiawassee
district, Hon. ]. Holbrook, was pleas
antly remembered by being placed
as chairman of the committees on

priations and Finance committee, and
second on the State Reform School.
He has several important bills in
preparation that will soon be on the

In the House the members from

aud doing some active work as will
be seen by the following: w. r..
Chapel has been placed second on
Michigan Asylum for Insane Crimi
pals, third on Public Lands, and third
on Engrossment and Enrolment.
He has introduced, House Bill No
4S; a bill to provide for the adjust
ment and payment of State bounties
to Michigan soldiers. Which pro-
vides uniform State bounty of 500

heretofore paid by this State; by any

wassee. And has other bills under
way.
Mr.. Watson has committee assign
ments as follows: Judiciary Com !,
fourth place; Rules and Joint Rules,

term in a Legislative body. Mr.. f.
III. Watson has also given notice of
the introduction of bill TO provide
for the taxation of mortgages on real
estate. A bill TO provide for the
registration of dogs. A bill to fix

The Only Way to Conquer Dyspepsia.

1t Is perfectly prcposterous to introduce
pcpsin and other artificial solvents into
the stomach, in the expectation that they
will assist digestion by acting on the food
itself They will not. Nor is it possible
thus to overcome dyspepsia. The only
way TO conquer that disorder, and prevent
the numerous diseases and disabilities
which it assuredly provokcs, is to renew
the activity of gastric action by strength
ching the stomach. Hostettcr's Stomach
Bittcrs cradicates the most invetcrate
forms of indigestion by restoring vitality
to the alimcntary organs and those which
are tributary TO them. The liver, the
bowels, the kidneys and the nerves, no
less than the stomach, experience the in
vigorativc effects of that standard tonic,
which possesses alternative properties
that greatly enhance rs beneficial inilu-
cncc, aud give Il permanence to its effects
which they would not otherwise possess.
